This story has so many twists and turns, you would swear that it was made for television.
The mother of Modern Family actress, Ariel Winter has spoken on the charges that she emotionally and physically abused the 14-year-old, saying that the entire thing stems from the actress’ choice of boyfriend: an 18 1/2 year old man.
Chrystal Workman claims that she loves her daughter very much in a statement released today, saying that she has “tried my best to always protect her and do what is right for her.”
“My fourteen-year-old daughter has been dating an eighteen-and-a-half-year-old man, and when I caught them engaging in behavior that I feel my daughter is too young mentally and physically to understand and fully grasp I put a stop to it immediately.”
The name of the man is not mentioned in the statement, but Workman says she filed a claim with the LA County Sheriff’s Office, stating that if the man wants to put her daughter into a path of intimacy she’s not truly ready for, “he should also be ready to suffer adult consequences for his actions.”
There’s a couple of problems with her “concern”: the alleged incident that took place between Ariel and the 18 1/2 year old wasn’t reported for two weeks after it supposedly occurred — which happens to be five days after Workman lost custody of her child.
Ariel seems to be handling this as best as she can. She was seen headed to the set of the ABC hit series earlier today.
